More details to this question:
Sued a business partner. We reached a settlement. Now he is over a year late on the last two payments. Filed a complaint and now just waiting on for his reply after being served. So my question is what would be the likelihood that he will have to pay me what he still owes me and how long it could take to resolve the issue? Best case worst case scenarios.

first I assume you have a lawyer, they got a settlement so must have been doing something right- this is best directed to them.
regardless of what the settlement says, settlements are only as good as the people you sign them with. they may have breached because their business has gone down.
either way, assuming your lawyer did their job, the Settlement Agreement will have default language.
good luck
